Visitors (7d)
12,036
Up from a 14d average pace of ~2,026/day vs 7d average of ~1,719/day — the most recent week is slightly below the 14d trend, but daily counts show clear upward momentum within the week.
Pageviews (7d)
19,569
Averages 2,796 pageviews/day. The 30d period shows 111,854 pageviews at 1.61 views/visit vs 1.4 in the last 7d, suggesting recent visitors are slightly less exploratory.
Bounce Rate (7d)
81%
High but improving within the week (88% on Apr 10 down to 78% on Apr 16). The 30d rate of 68% suggests longer-term visitors engage more deeply.
Views Per Visit (7d)
1.4
Below the 30d average of 1.61, indicating recent traffic may be more intent-specific or landing-page-driven.
Avg Visit Duration (7d)
40 seconds
Slightly higher than the 30d average of 36s, suggesting recent visitors who do engage are spending a bit more time per session.
Daily Visitors Growth

Traffic Overview
docs.wal.app had 12,036 visitors and 19,569 pageviews over the last 7 days (Apr 10–16, 2026). Traffic is growing steadily day-over-day, with bounce rate declining from 88% on Apr 10 to 78% by Apr 16. The vast majority of traffic is direct, with Google and internal referrals as secondary sources. The homepage and Walrus Sites intro pages dominate traffic, while operator and system-overview content attracts more engaged, deeper readers.
Strong daily visitor growth within the week
Visitors nearly doubled from 1,222 on Apr 10 to 2,129 on Apr 16 (+74%), with pageviews growing from 1,760 to 3,716 (+111%). This accelerating trend suggests a recent product announcement, listing, or content push is driving sustained interest.
Bounce rate improving as traffic scales
Bounce rate dropped from 88% on Apr 10 to 78% on Apr 16 despite significantly higher traffic volumes, indicating that newer visitors are increasingly finding relevant content — a positive engagement signal.
Dual URL problem for legacy Walrus Sites pages
Both /walrus-sites/intro and /walrus-sites/intro.html (and tutorial equivalents) each receive ~2,070 visitors with identical metrics, effectively splitting SEO value and analytics. Canonical tags or redirects should be implemented.
Operator content is the most engaged audience segment
Pages like /commission-governance (76s, 77% scroll), /red-stuff (51s, 65% scroll), and /core-concepts (37s, 70% scroll) show far higher engagement than onboarding pages, suggesting the operator/developer audience is highly motivated and worth investing more content in.
ChatGPT emerging as a quality referral channel
Despite only 12 visitors, chatgpt.com referrals produce 329s average session duration — the second highest of any source after walrus.site. As AI assistants increasingly answer technical questions, optimizing docs for AI citation could drive significant future traffic.

Analysis
Notable Takeaways
Spam consumes 14% of all chatbot capacity
60 of 425 conversations classified as off-topic, gibberish, or adult-content spamWithout input filtering, nearly 1 in 7 chatbot interactions pollutes analytics and wastes response resources.
Duplicate legacy URLs split nearly half of Walrus Sites traffic
/walrus-sites/intro and /walrus-sites/intro.html each received 2,070 visitors with identical metricsCanonical consolidation is a quick win that would recover split SEO value and unify analytics for the second-highest-traffic page.
ChatGPT referrals deliver the longest non-internal sessions
329s average session duration from chatgpt.com vs 40s site-wide averageAI-referred users are the highest-quality external audience, making AI-citation optimization a high-leverage growth lever.
Operator content vastly outperforms onboarding content on engagement
commission-governance page averages 76s and 77% scroll vs getting-started at 17s and 33% scrollThe operator/node audience is highly motivated yet underserved by current content depth relative to their demonstrated intent.

Publish a copy-paste Quick Start covering CLI, HTTP, and TypeScript SDK
New top-level 'Quick Start' page with one working example per interface (CLI, PUT /v1/blobs, TS SDK writeBlob).
105 chatbot questions on basic store/retrieve with only 33% scroll completion on /docs/getting-started confirm the gap.
